With the latest evidence released, Antony seems to be being unjustly accused. One of these two women, Ingrid Lana, recently went on Brazilian Record TV to complain because she felt “betrayed” by Antony. This woman said she had known Antony for a long time and was promised by this player that he would create conditions for a job.
Antony’s side is presenting a series of evidence against Ingrid Lana’s words. The player himself frankly admitted that he had a relationship with a woman 10 years older than him. However, the one who took the initiative was Ingrid Lana when she was attending her cousin’s birthday in Portugal. Antony is willing to provide messages between the two to prove that Lana knows the purpose of her trip to England is not for work.
Antony’s representative, Reginaldo Teixeira, also confirmed this to Athletic newspaper. “The story that Ingrid Lana told is completely false. Antony never promised that kind of job. They came together completely voluntarily. It was I who brought him to Lana’s door at Manchester. They laughed and talked happily and closed the door. At 5 a.m. the next day, Antony asked me to come pick him up.
As for the request to keep quiet, I did not force Lana. She was bothered by a lot of reporters and asked for my opinion. I frankly said that it was best for her not to say anything if she didn’t want to be pursued by the media. And in case she accepts an interview, tell the truth and only the truth.”After that, a recording was posted online believed to be of Teixeira and Lana, which took place on July 7, 2023, more than a week after Cavallin’s ex-girlfriend accused Antony of violence. The rather long conversation shows that Lana is quite angry because she feels taken advantage of because Antony has not dated her since the meeting in Manchester.
She believes that Antony would never do that because she believes that the midfielder is not a violent person. Lana is even willing to stand up to protect Antony. Lana also said that some people are willing to “pump money” for her to defame Antony in the media. However, Lana promised not to let that happen.
If this recording is confirmed, Antony will almost certainly be declared innocent in the incident with Ingrid Lana. However, this guy still has to face two other charges.
